Abstract

Power generated in power stations pass through distribution lines and other equipment before it is delivered to the customers which results to a distribution system loss classified into technical losses, non-technical losses, and administrative losses. The identification of the values of each loss in the distribution system of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) could help the analysis on how to improve its system and could further minimize the amount that the university spends for electricity. The Distribution System Application Software (DSAS) is a software application that analyzes and evaluates electric power systems. This study yields an Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) Template file that contains the load and network data of the system. The developed database was simulated using the Distribution System Losses (DSL) Segregator that yields a total loss of 164,847.92 kWh from March 26 2015 to April 25 2015. The total loss, administrative loss, technical loss, and non-technical loss in the system were computed to be 13.51%, 8.11%, 2.52%, and 2.87% of the total energy for the given billing month, respectively. Therefore, the resulting values of the losses show what specific loss UPLB should focus on. Moreover, this study serves as the database for all the studies in the distribution system of UPLB.
